The Farquhar College of Arts and Sciences will welcome Jen Marlowe—an award-winning documentary filmmaker, author, playwright, and human-rights activist—to speak at NSU. The talk serves as the college’s annual lecture supported by the Stolzenberg-Doan Family Endowment.

Marlowe will discuss marginalization and oppression across the globe and examine individuals who have practiced nonviolent resistance. The event is hosted by the college’s Division of Humanities:
“Reflections on Resistance” | Stolzenberg-Doan Lecture
Monday, Mar. 26
5:00 p.m.
Carl DeSantis Building | Knight Auditorium

Through a variety of films and books, Marlowe has documented struggles in Sudan and the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, as well as the conviction of Troy Davis, a Georgia Death Row inmate executed by the state in Sept. 2011 despite mounting claims of innocence. She has also worked with youth in Afghanistan, Bosnia-Herzegovina, Cyprus, India, and Pakistan.

This event is free, and all are welcome to attend.
